Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The entire Jiashou base was in operation and entered the "combat state".

Due to the special design and high intelligence, this "combat state" is not reflected in people, but in countless intelligent devices that are working all the time.

In the dark night, the port is still working.

The huge high-lumen spotlights make the unloading area as bright as day.

Jin Chaoyi is still at the observation point, but the official employee is no longer there.

While checking the instrument, he felt a strong crosswind from west to east. This situation is very common on the coast, but for hoisting large precision equipment, it is something that must be vigilant.

So he immediately clicked on the instrument screen, then blew the whistle and waved the colorful flag in his hand.

Almost at the same time, a buzzer sounded on the measuring instrument, and the worker pointed to the drone: "The sensor detected a level 6 crosswind in the 823 area, please manually review."

Jin Chaoyi hurriedly said: "Manual confirmation, there is a strong crosswind, the wind direction is from west to east!"

This is his second day working at this position, and he is very familiar with all the processes.

In the dark night, a train loaded with rocket parts, like a fast-moving bone snake, arrived at the No. 1 launch silo under the escort of dozens of drones.

The drones flew with spotlights constantly sweeping, like glowing eyes in the dark night, constantly observing the condition of the rails and the stability of the rocket parts.

The launch silo is semi-buried, most of the height is underground, but there is still a huge circular dome on the ground, and the train drove directly into it from the edge of the dome.

Compared with the dimness outside, it can be said that the lights are bright inside. The train came to the side and stopped. The track crane above had been prepared for a long time and slowly reached down.

The drones that followed did not rest, but stretched out their not-so-thick mechanical arms to fine-tune the hook rope to the appropriate position.

Invisible electromagnetic waves were transmitted in the air. As the largest mechanical intelligent network so far, the various components in the Kashou base cooperated very closely.

The three pairs of fixings on the train tray slowly unfolded, and the crane lifted the rocket parts and took them away to the central area of ​​the dome.

Shan Chunyuan was wearing a non-powered exoskeleton, but the gaps between the exoskeleton were filled with intelligent units, each with its own function.

He held a report board in his hand and ticked off items one by one. The huge object weighing more than ten tons behind him moved, but it did not distract him for even a second.

The exclusive "Industrial UAV" flew over and said, "Parts 13-18 have been delivered."

Shan Chunyuan nodded and ticked, "Synchronize to the system, and the 'intelligent inspection' of parts 3-4 has been completed. Notify the third shift of 'manual inspection' for review."

A "." appeared on the small screen of the Industrial UAV, and turned into a "√" after one second.

"The logistics information has been updated to the system, and your instructions have been distributed to the 'third inspection shift'."

The structure under the launch silo is a bit depressing, and several inspectors are finishing up.

The launch silo is not a straight up and down underground, but also includes many horizontal expansion areas. Even the four launch silos can still be connected to each other, but the distance is a bit far.

It is said that electric rail cars will be built in the future to facilitate the transportation of people and goods between each other.

In order to simplify the underground part, most of the structures are made of steel, and some unimportant ones are even left over from the US bacteria. The combination of cement and steel with the depressing atmosphere is very much like the style of a doomsday wasteland.

In front of the inspectors are the two rocket parts that arrived first. With the help of the intelligent vertical installation system, they have successfully landed at the "bottom of the well". For precision equipment such as rockets, the Kashou Base currently implements a "dual-track system", that is, both "mechanical intelligent detection" and "manual detection" must meet the standards to be considered complete, and this process will be repeated many times to ensure accuracy.

"Inspection shift three, please move to the negative fourth floor to conduct manual inspection of components 3 and 4."

One person looked up and said, "Received, moving soon."

However, after the engineer drone left, he couldn't help but say, "The pace here at Jiashou is too fast, even faster than Wanhu Base! I'm always a little uncomfortable."

A colleague said, "After all, it is the world's first 'smart launch silo'. If the pace is the same as that of an ordinary launch tower, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"What I mean is, in addition to following the manual, we still have to check it a few more times. We haven't failed in Taitian's launch yet, and we can't afford to lose face!"

In Shanghai, at Wanhu Base, Zhou Rui looked at his watch. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

There were fewer and fewer people in the command center, and the lights were dimmed a few degrees.

Zhou Rui looked aside: "Has Jiashou Base not rested yet?"

The man reported: "The last ship of parts has been temporarily unloaded due to a sudden crosswind, but work in other areas is still going on."

Zhou Rui thought about it and directly asked him to connect with the person in charge of Jiashou Base.

In the center of the intelligent command center, among the four large screens facing all directions, the one facing Zhou Rui showed the back of Shan Chunyuan's head.

Judging from the angle, it must have been taken by the industrial drone.

Hmm. Old Shan's hair volume is getting dangerous. It was not like this when he was first in the Xichang base.

Alas! It must be that my daily work is too demanding. Old Shan has too much oil and water, which has blocked the hair follicles.

Zhou Rui said: "Commander Shan, do you consider doing this today?"

Shan Chunyuan turned his head and said to the screen: "I have increased the proportion of "manual inspection" and plan to rest at 1 o'clock tonight. I have stopped the port area. The night wind is strong tonight. I will move again tomorrow morning."

Zhou Rui thought about it and decided to respect the judgment of the on-site personnel. He kept General Shan Chunyuan in Jiashou because he needed him to have his own ideas.

"I understand. Then I will work overtime with you."

Shan Chunyuan smiled: "Then I won't pay you overtime wages."

Zhou Rui also smiled: "It doesn't matter. I will pay you and then deduct it from you."

Shan Chunyuan:

Since the first ship of rocket parts arrived at the port of Jiashou Base, the preliminary preparations have been carried out for five consecutive days.

This is a launch to verify the "quality" of Jiashou Base. What stories will this super aerospace base, which cost tens of billions of dollars, write in history? It will start with this launch.

The entire Jiashou Base has entered a closed state. Except for the transportation of materials, no personnel are allowed to enter or exit, and each entrance is guarded by armed personnel.

But this launch is semi-public.

That is: normal reporting to various international aerospace organizations, normal notification to various countries, and normal indication that we will launch rockets for military purposes.

There are many reasons, the most important of which is that the "Lingxiao Platform" cannot be hidden for a long time, even such a large thing cannot be hidden.

It needs a stronger sense of presence, rather than creating a mysterious tension, just like nuclear weapons.

It can be just as upright and aboveboard.

It is not a small country, is there any weapon in the world that China and Argentina cannot make?

In addition, aerospace is the hottest field in the world. Every breakthrough will make the aura of "technological hegemony" more stable. This is a pioneering work that leads by one dimension, and the first military equipment outside of orbit for all mankind.

It also means the birth of a new military branch.

After a long period of organizational research and judgment, and with the case of Master Qingtang, it was finally decided that this new force, starting with the "Lingxiao Platform" and with the Xingtian fighter as the only combat power at present, does not belong to the Air Force or the Navy.

Don't tell me that a spacecraft is also a ship!

In terms of organization, it is directly set up as the "Air and Space Force".

It can also be abbreviated as "Sky Army". Like the Army, Navy and Air Force, this name is more popular in private, but the written documents are all "Sky Army", just waiting to be announced to the public after Ling Xiao succeeds.

This is also the first time for all mankind.

I don't know what others think, but many aerospace workers in Taitian Engineering have subtly discovered that they are no longer so concerned about "who is the first to land on the moon".

Because they have too many "firsts" to create, now and in the future.

Let those people hold the credit book and don't care whether the things in his credit book are true or false.

One day, the truth will be as easy to check as reading the palm lines.

Because everyone in the company is saying that the boss is already preparing for the moon exploration.

Well, it seems that it is not the moon exploration, but a more powerful plan.

————

October 30th, a high-rise residential building somewhere in Ryukyu.

Shang Zhi, who had just finished overtime, returned to his residence tiredly. This is his home in Naba. It used to be the leading luxury residential area in Ryukyu before the tsunami. Of course, the land price here has basically lost its meaning since then.

There was no one at home. This was where he lived alone. His father had passed away. His mother first lived in Shuri, the old capital of Ryukyu, and then moved to China with her younger brother.

It was both safe and an exchange.

Shang Zhi untied his tie, washed his face, and walked straight to the balcony. He had a cigarette in his hand.

Blowing the night breeze, lighting a cigarette, and not turning on the light, he just stared outside in a daze. It was a rare leisure moment for him.

Speaking of which, should the Kade base be launched these days?

Although they didn't need to do anything for the first launch, all the people in Ryukyu were very concerned.

The success or failure of the Kade base had a huge impact on Ryukyu.

Unfortunately, even he only knew a rough range, and no one outside the base knew the specific day.

Ryukyu was not big. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the Kade base. There was nothing unusual. Instead, the night view of Naha City was a bit depressed. There were not many places with lights on, and large areas were dark.

This is one of the important indicators of the economic vitality of a region.

Shang Zhi took a deep breath, turned his back, and exhaled a puff of smoke with his head tilted back.

The smoke was not conspicuous in the night, blending into his gray hair.

"Take it slow, it will get better and better."

He said this to himself.

Suddenly, a dazzling light was reflected on the glass door of the balcony in front of him.

Shang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then turned around immediately.

In the night sky, a bright light spot was slowly rising.

The distance was too far to see the shape of the light spot, but the vertical rising trajectory was not difficult to guess.

The rocket took off.

Shang Zhi could not hear the roar of the flame, but because of this, in this silent night, the brilliance seemed more mysterious and romantic.

Shang Zhi watched nervously, he lacked professional knowledge and could only judge by intuition.

It seemed that the launch was successful?

However, the next moment, he was stunned and half of the cigarette fell to the ground unconsciously.

The second, third, fourth

Four bright light spots rose one after another from a very far distance.

Shang Zhi murmured, "This is really... very much like that person's style."

Four missiles fired consecutively? No, this can be called launching four missiles at the same time.

Even without relevant knowledge, he could feel how shocking this was.

Four shining, bright spots of light rose one after another.

The light of the tail flame illuminated the bleak and dim night scene of Ryukyu.
